Lead Time and Receive Time in Part Plant record

I figured it out. The Due Date is moved up by the Receive Time value, and the Order By Date is Due Date - Lead Time.

Thanks!

We're on E9.04.506C.

How do Lead Time and Receive Time affect each other? In the testing I've done so far, if a part has a Lead Time then the Receive Time is ignored. I was hoping that the two would be added together. Each part already has a Lead Time, but my Materials Manager wants to bring in stuff even earlier, so I added a Receive Time on the Part Class records for raw materials... no effect. I then added a Receive Time value on several Part Plant records, also to no effect.

The MRP Tech Ref Guide makes no mention of them working together, nor of one taking precedence over the other. Is anyone using Receive Time, and is this how it is supposed to be working?
